19. going deceptively large

T: Please could you bail out self and refresh - What was the EXACT challenge again? ... is it big things extracted to abstract state?

J: is "minimize the view of a seemingly complex scene"

J: have been angling for lunch out at a place that we reach by driving underneath a wonderfully complicated bit of French road engineering.....but sadly my request fell on deaf ears

PS and anyway, the brief being 'seemingly' complex rather than actually complex.....is it perhaps rather like 'estate agent speak' when they talk about a house being deceptively large?

T: Will upload (rather lame) photo tomorrow... ricoh definitely dying. Sniff.

PS antwerp the Liverpool of flanders. True.  (saw peter lindbergh show at photo museum there. Made me want to take more portraits. Just need a few supermodels to experiment with.) MeaNwhile, in reality, am tempted by more immediate, lower-brow, photobox 'pic on a Thornton's choc box' concept...

T: antwerp brickwork

J: ooh - that's VERY exciting, in an optically illusory way!

meanwhile, mine is a seemingly complex fence, rendered.....well, you decide!

(I also have an apparently complex rainbow minimized to a blur of pink…..

a tree [possibly even a forest] reduced to a mere speck of moss…..

and an 'attention aux enfants' sign reduced to part of one letter…..

[the letter T since you ask] - and am now having albeit restorative cup of Earl Grey when what I really need is a glass of wine.....)
